Pets generally age 5 to 7 times faster than their owners do, and this means that their bodies experience greater changes in a much shorter period of time. With all of the physiological changes that pets have to go through, Senior Wellness Exams are very important tools in determining how to give your pet the best possible future.
A Senior Wellness Exam is a more extensive exam that will include laboratory testing of your pet’s blood and urine to check for early indications of changes and illnesses associated with aging. Dental examinations are another important part of the exam, especially for felines and canines. The functionality of your pet’s liver, kidneys, and thyroid levels will help to give our veterinarians a basis for your pet’s future diet and possible exercise regimen. X-rays and ultrasounds help us to understand issues such as arthritis, which is a physical problem experienced by many aging pets.
Over 20% of aging pets that seem perfectly healthy are actually suffering from significant physical problems and illnesses. Early detection and treatment add years to your pet’s life. 85% of felines & canines are said to suffer from periodontal disease, an illness that forms in the mouth but can eventually affect the liver, kidneys, and heart.
We will treat every pet with a similar sympathy that we would expect for our own pets.

Macabre, Roxy and Harley
There is no vet I would trust other than Dr. Yach and his team of associates. Dr. Yach represents what every vet shoud and there is no doubt that he absolutely LOVES animals and would do anything to help them. He has been my vet since 2005 when I had my beloved Rottie Macabre. He also treated my English Bulldogs Roxy and Harley like they were his own. He now takes special care of Fenway and Boston, our snow white English bulldogs. You will always feel like your pets are Dr. Yach’s only patients when you are having a visit. He is diligent in his care and has such a loving character that your pets will always feel. Thank you from the bottom of our heart for all you do for our babies!!!!
